Friday, 19th September 2008 – Halibut, Buckingham Friday evening we wandered into Buckingham intending to eat at the Buckingham Fort (a very nice Indian restaurant) but as I’d noticed a couple of new restaurants had sprung up since last I drove through Buckingham on a regular basis, we figured we’d have a bit of a…

Travel 2008 – Brighton
Saturday, 13th/Sunday, 14th September 2008 – Brighton The weekends have been busy of late and the weeks are just so busy that I don’t seem able to find time to tell anyone about it. That said, last weekend, we finally got to visit our friend Irene in Brighton (we’ve only been trying to achieve it…
Food 2008 – The Roade House, Roade
Friday, 12th September 2008 – Italian Dinner, The Roade House, Roade Friday night was another of the ever-wonderful Roade House’s special dinners. This time it was an Italian dinner with matching wines. We arrived slightly early, in time to admire the newly-redecorated bar/conservatory, which now seems very light and airy, with lovely white walls and…
Events 2008 – Wimbledon Men’s Quarter Finals
Friday, 4th July 2008 – Men’s Quarter Finals I had a great day at the tennis yesterday (though I should state upfront that I’ve never tried taking tennis photos properly before – apart from about two 24-exposure rolls back in the late 1980s when I was lucky enough to see Boris Becker play – and…
Travel/Food 2008 – National Portrait Gallery, National Dining Rooms, Royal Academy, London
Saturday, 26th April 2008 – National Portrait Gallery, National Dining Rooms, Royal Academy, London After a great deal of promising ourselves trips to various exhibitions, and then never getting round to them, I decided that Lynne and I had done enough talking about going to the National Portrait Gallery and the Vanity Fair photo exhibition…
Food 2008 – Woksoever, Cottingham
Saturday, 12th April 2008 – Woksoever, Cottingham Well, it was a pretty exhausting weekend (and if I never see a cardboard box again it may be too soon), but it had its good points too. On Saturday night, knowing we’d none of us feel up to cooking dinner, we booked into the ridiculously named Woksoever…
Food 2008 – The Roade House, Roade
7th April 2008 – Antipodean Dinner, The Roade House, Roade This afternoon I dashed to the garage to get a new headlight bulb fitted to the Astra (I swear this car eats light bulbs – I’m averaging one every three months right now), before picking Andrea up from Bicester station to take her to ours,…
Food 2008 – La Strada, Artisan
Friday, 16th/Saturday, 17th February 2008 – La Strada, Artisan It was a busy weekend – far busier than is good for me, I think, but it was also fun. Friday night the Hulse clan landed on our doorstep to help celebrate Lynne’s birthday, so we duly drank kir while waiting for Gordon and Angela to…
Food 2008 – Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons
Wednesday, 13th February 2008 – Le Manoir Aux Quat’ Saisons, Great Milton So, it was both my Mum and Lynne’s birthdays, and to celebrate, what with it being Lynne’s 50th and Mum’s 81st, we were booked in at the splendid – nay utterly wonderful – le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons. We got up slowly, the…
Food 2007 – Daventry, Waddesdon, Wetherby
Saturday, 9th/Sunday, 24th February 2007 – Daventry, Waddesdon, Wetherby We went out for Lynne’s birthday by virtue of Andrea and Bob deciding that we needed to go out and have “a jolly time“, as Bob put it. A long, lazy lunch at Fawsley Hall was just the thing frankly. It’s a lovely place, and the…
